Become the Wife of A CEO

“1. 5 million!” Without thinking too much, Clara directly added another half a million on the basis of Horace’s bid. She could not let this ring fall into Horace’s hands! Otherwise, it would be contrary to her original intention.

“What is happening?” the audience couldn’t understand it at all.

“Can you bid on your own lot?”

“Actually, it seems that you can…”

“But why? Surely, if you bid on your own lot, you lose only some service fees, but an auction is a serious thing. It is not a joke! Didn’t she just say that it had a special meaning?”

“I don’t understand, either. It is confusing.”

…

She just did not want me to have it.

Thinking of this, Horace’s anger grew even stronger. He had made enough compromises back then, but she left him anyway. For five years, he never heard from her. Now he finally saw her, and she was so eager to draw the line with him.

“2 million.”

If she thought she could get rid of him in this way, she was wrong.

“2 million?”

“Am I hearing it right?”

“He definitely still feels for her.”

“Why are not my ex-husbands like him? All of them are jerks! One of them even took our dog away!”

“2 million…he could have bought a sports car, or a house! But a ring? There isn’t even a diamond on it!”

…

Clara was about to be driven crazy, two million! Was Horace this rich? Fine, if he wanted to play, she would play with him.

She would never let Horace get this ring.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“2. 5 million.” Clara didn’t know what other people thought, but when she called out the price, she thought it was silly.

Logan frowned slightly after hearing Clara’s offer. It wasn’t that he felt sorry for the money, let alone that it was his sister who was spending it. It’s just that in the past five years, he had rarely seen his sister be as angry as she was today.

She had always been soft and gentle, and always had a smile on her face. Even if she was sad sometimes, she hid all of those negative emotions from him and Neo.

But now, Horace had aroused her anger. She did not care if it was a hundred or a million. She just wanted to win this ring over.

Seeing Clara clenching her hands, her cheeks flushed with anger, and there seemed to be a flame burning in her eyes, Logan felt that she was such an authentic person.

She had not changed, but she was still the same Clara in her heart. Was it possible that she was still in love with Horace?

Worries showed up on his face. Absolutely not! Horace had already hurt her once, and he would never allow it to happen again!

“3 million.” Without hesitation, Horace immediately followed up.

The audience was starting to enjoy the show right now. They did not care about the numbers anymore. They were just curious that who would win this bidding game in the end.

This grand drama between ex-husband and ex-wife was so exciting that they had to watch till the end.

Clara was also shocked by the price. What did he want to do? It was him who had given her up in the first place. What did he want by doing this?

As time went by, she felt that the audience was starting to enjoy the show right now. She felt humiliated being watched, and the anger for him had ignited and burned higher.

This could not go on forever, because as they were raising the price, the agent fee also went ridiculously high. It’s pointless to pay such a crazy price.

Thinking of this, Clara gritted her teeth and put down the bidding card in her hand. Just let him have it. Since she had let it go, she should not care what he did.

With Clara’s withdrawal, the auction ended. In the end, the ring was auctioned by Horace for a sky-high price of 3 million.

The auctioneer had an undisguised smile on his face when he knocked the hammer down. He never had expected that the ring would sell at such a high price. He should have got a fat commission in this deal.

Soon new plots were brought up, and everyone’s attention shifted to the next ones. But Clara could still hear the discussions around her. She knew exactly what they were talking about, the relationship between them and when they would be back together.

Hearing these baseless guesses, Clara felt outrageous. Her original intention today was to completely end the connection with Horace, but she never could have thought that it ended up like this.

Clara wanted to leave immediately, but unfortunately, the Hutchinson Group was the organizer of this auction. As the lady of the family, she definitely couldn’t leave halfway, otherwise, the visitors would be dissatisfied. She didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to Logan, so she could only sit on pins and needles amid the chatters of the crowd.

“Logan, I’m afraid that I have to leave earlier than expected.” As soon as the host announced the end of the auction, Clara told Logan that she wanted to leave.

Logan originally wanted to introduce Clara to the shareholders and clients of the Group after the auction, which was one of the reasons why he brought Clara here today. Now that it was clear that she belonged to the family and there was no reason to keep that from the public, he decided to ensure her status in the family business as soon as possible.

But seeing Clara’s eagerness to leave, Logan also knew that what happened just now had affected her mood to some extent.

“Okay, be careful on the way home then.”

“Yes.” In response to Logan, Clara got up and left.

Walking on the road, Clara could still feel the eyes of the people on her. Words such as “Horace”, “ex-wife” and “three million” also spread to her ears from time to time. There was no doubt that the bidding had become the most eye-catching part of this auction.

Thinking of this, Clara’s resentment towards Horace deepened. She could have imagined the gossip in this city about them after this auction, not to mention the crazy stories made up by local tabloids…

Clara quickened her steps as she thought of that. She wanted to quickly go backstage to change his clothes, and then leave this place, far away from these discussions, and far away from Horace. She never wanted to see him again in her life!

She also realized that she had changed to her old ostrich mentality, but she could not resist it. She could never have expected that her heart would beat so fast the moment she saw him again. The mental preparation were not working. She could not control her heart.

As soon as she walked around the corner backstage, Clara was stopped by a suddenly appearing man. When she got a clear view of the person, her eyes flashed with panic, and she unconsciously took two steps back.
